It’s not just a change in what I like to do so for you, did you read similarly or lose reading ability either after bipolar or after medication?

I used to be a voracious reader. Then bipolar and meds came into my life, and my ability to read has gone down the toilet. I have the attention span of a goldfish, and about all I can handle at a time is a magazine article. I own probably 200 books and can't read a one of them anymore. I miss it...there was nothing better than settling down on the sofa in front of the fireplace with a cat or two and a good book.
